  let me know if anything is false or misleading and we can revise :).

  Justvisiting - it seemed this set of witnesses is at the stage where just using a tablet gains them spiritual brownie points, once someone figures out the highlighting trick they'll have to step it up!

  I feel for you Desirous, it's no fun having to appease family members, maybe occupy yourself with one of the societies bible-based colouring books? ;p

  Mr Phizzy sir, I am shocked that you'd sell out for such a low price, 2 million indeed, and dollars no less!

  Being in a comfort zone is exactly right, feeling like the 'truth' might be the fying pan but 'out there' is the fire, when in fact you're just stewing in your own juices. It was an insight going back, but nothing will induce me to do it again.

  I recently did just that and had an unexpectedly uplifting experience. No, really!

  Whilst on vacay I was informed by my JW friend (only dimly aware of my faded status) that we’d be visiting the local KH I reacted by going to my room and having a silent tantrum, resolving to tell her that um, no, we most certainly were not. But it later turned out she was rather desperate to find a single brother, so I did the non-JW thing and put her happiness above my own

  So there I was, far from home, not been to a KH in over a year and heading to the Sunday meeting. Everyone was very pleasant and commented how spiritual we were by attending (me, a closet ‘apostate’, my friend only there to scope out the talent!)

  I can’t stress enough how surreal yet reaffirming it was to be there, far from the JW community I was used to, seeing everything with new eyes . First thing I noted was the self-importance the elders exuded. Second were the damned ipads. Around two years ago I was strictly forbidden to read the WT in pdf format at the hall, but now that such things have had the GB kiss of approval, it’s all the rage. No more paragraph highlighting one-upmanship!

  The talk was yawn inducing and full of idiotic analogies, nuff said. As for the WT article – I was convinced it was the simplified version! Don’t recall a single thing about the content, try as I might to remember, all that comes to mind is my annoyance at the atrocious ad hoc bible quotes and parroted answers. It wasn’t a spiritual discussion in any meaningful sense; it would appear every soul capable of rational thought has left the writing department.

  And then it was over.

  Boy, how inconsequential all these increasingly vapid meetings are. It used to be that we were at least comforted/up built by the content, but no more. To have had such a break from attending and be able to observe in a faraway congregation helps draw a line under it all and get some perspective, I thoroughly recommend it!

  The 'aren't we so blessed' nonsense astounded me, just do a quick Google of Atlanta religious conventions and see how many other faiths are 'blessed' by God (or would that be Satan??) - there's even an interesting article about religious meetings filling a gap in the cities convention economy!

  But that tourism slant.... wow...coke, really? one of the biggest of Big Business? The increase in vile hypocrisy and two faced claptrap is truly wondrous to behold. Evangelising works are apparently on hold, they must be doing such a good job lately in the mute trolley bystander field

  Thanks for posting, has really got my goat but that's a good thing, means I'm alive and free thinking

  Is that a spoof video?! either way it made me want to vomit.

  Atlanta has the largest concentration of colleges and universities in all the southern states, not one of which has a motto anything like 'listen,obey and be blessed', I guarantee it. If they put all this energy into enriching the lives of others instead of stifling them..... grrrrr

  Watched 3 season of game of thrones - I want those 25+ hours of my life back

  by will-be-apostate in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  this is the worst series i've ever watched in my life.

  whenever things are starting to get smooth and good characters seem to gain advantage, the writers just kill them.

  i've wasted 25+ hours of my life watching how the writers make the bad win over the good.. they make you continue watching by planting the seed in your head that "just a few more episodes and everything is gonna be all right", but no, painful death comes upon anyone who is not cruel and perfidious enaugh.

  Hmm, if you have your eyes open to the likely potholes that could develop if you move the relationship forward, I'd say things could work out. I would implore you to wait a couple years before starting a family with her though, you have no idea the cyclical nature of guilt within the organisation with the memorial and assemblies.

  Time and again I've seen ppl leave and then a year or two go by and they're back with a vengeance, followed by another exit/fade and return - its an immense gravitational pull to those who haven't resigned themselves to it not being the means of eternal life. It all depends on her personality and motivations.

  All the best!

  Need advice, really wanna play COD

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well my ps3 is downstairs because i had no idea how good games looked on tvs that weren't older than you are and i've run into a problem.

  my mum doesn't know that i have "bad" games like cod, gta 5, legend of zelda and final fantasy (yeah ik last two aren't that bad but loads of religious stuff and magic) and it's getting harder to keep it a secret.. i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i should go about this.

  should i just wait a while and slowly introduce the idea to my mum that i play these games or should i just come out and play them and act like it'a nothing?.

  Your mum sounds pretty laid back to have let you game in your room to start with,rest assured that any mum would be concerned about their 15yr old son playing gtav, jw or not! I'd say you should be able to make a case for the other games, but maybe have to put up with old TVs graphics for gta's strip clubs for now :p
